This document provides an assembly guide and product information for the 2.2m Garden Obelisk, model G4476, manufactured by Garden Gear.
Function Description
The Garden Obelisk is a decorative and functional garden structure designed to support climbing plants, adding vertical interest to gardens, large pots, or tubs. It provides a trellis for plants to grow on, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of outdoor spaces.
Before assembly, users must ensure all parts are present. It is crucial not to load objects on top of the obelisk and to prevent children from playing on it. The product is intended for domestic use and is not suitable for commercial purposes. Assembly should be performed on a flat surface in the area where the obelisk will be placed.
Parts List
The obelisk consists of several components, each with specific dimensions and quantities:
- A. Bends: 4 pieces, each measuring 16 x 590mm. These form the curved top sections of the obelisk.
- B. Pipes (long): 4 pieces, each measuring 16 x 460mm. These are used for the main vertical structure.
- C. Pipe (short): 4 pieces, each measuring 16 x 400mm. These are also part of the vertical framework.
- D. Support pipes: 4 pieces, each measuring 16 x 810mm. These provide the primary vertical support.
- E. Half ring: 6 pieces. These circular components connect the pipes to form the obelisk's structure.
- F. Decoration cap: 1 piece. This is the finial that sits at the very top of the obelisk.
- G. Connectors 1: 1 piece. Used to secure specific sections during assembly.
- H. Connectors 2: 1 piece. Also used for securing sections during assembly.
Assembly Instructions
The assembly process is divided into six steps:
-
Step 1: Base Assembly
- Slide the four support pipes (D) into the half ring (E). The diagram illustrates how to match and push the pipes into the half ring to form a complete circular base.
-
Step 2: Lower Frame Extension
- Continue by sliding the four short pipes (C) into the half ring (E), extending the lower part of the obelisk's frame.
-
Step 3: Upper Frame and Bends
- Slide the four long pipes (B) into the half ring (E).
- Attach the two bends (A) to the top ends of the long pipes, starting to form the curved upper section of the obelisk.
-
Step 4: Securing Bends
- Fix the bends (A) using connectors 2 (H). This step ensures the curved sections are securely joined.
-
Step 5: Connecting the Structure
- Continue connecting the two bends (A) with the entire structure. This is secured using connector 1 (G) and connector 2 (H). The instructions emphasize pushing them together firmly to ensure a stable connection.
-
Step 6: Final Touch
- Install the decoration cap (F) at the very top of the obelisk. After installation, it is important to ensure that the entire structure is stable.
Placing the Obelisk
Once assembled, the obelisk can be placed in its desired location:
-
Marking Position: Mark the position where the obelisk will be placed by making four small holes in the ground.
-
Digging Holes: Dig holes at the marked positions, with a recommended depth of 20cm into the soil.
-
Inserting and Securing:
- Insert the obelisk into the dug holes, ensuring it is secure.
- Alternatively, the obelisk can be placed directly into a large pot or tub after planting.
- For added stability, especially when used with climbing plants, garden ties can be used to attach plants to the trellis.
- Sprinkling light gravel or pebbles around the base of the trellis and planting on top of the soil is also recommended for enhanced stability.
